Application: System and method for logistical assistance with data exchange (Patent ID: US20240095776A1)
The patent filed by DoorDash Inc. describes a method that involves storing interest indicators for providing communications related to resources offered by multiple service providers. When a fulfillment request is received from an end user device for resources to be fulfilled by a first service provider, the method identifies transporters capable of fulfilling the request, retrieves interest indicators associated with geographically proximate service providers, determines relevant interest indicators, and provides communications to the end user device along with a display of the service provider identifier or the resources to be fulfilled. The transporters then deliver the requested resources to the end user, creating a seamless fulfillment process.
The method outlined in the patent involves evaluating compatibility and conversion rates of service providers, excluding incompatible providers, and forming groups of interest indicators based on specific criteria. The interest indicators stored in a long-term database include identifiers for resources, maximum and minimum amounts, and are indexed by service provider identifier, resource identifier, and location. The central server computer executing the method also receives confirmation of the fulfillment request from the end user device and can display advertisements as part of the communication process. Overall, the patent details a system that streamlines the process of fulfilling resource requests by leveraging interest indicators and communication strategies to connect end users with service providers and transporters efficiently.
